Pheonix - Possibility of revival if killed.
Here's an idea for a new dark elixir troop:
The Phoenix is a powerful end game dark elixir unit. It's base hp is not as high as a dragons, but it has decent attack speed and dps. The most unique aspect of this unit is the possibility of Phoenix resurrecting upon death in full hp. The drawback is the Phoenix is extremely vulnerable during the resurrection phase. It becomes a ground unit when killed, and cannot move or attack; at this point, without ground support, the egg can be easily destroyed by cannons or ground facing xbows. It also takes 5 seconds for the Phoenix to resurrect. If the egg is killed before the 5 seconds, the Phoenix is lost forever. Upon resurrection, the Phoenix becomes an air unit again with full hp. The Phoenix burns away its lifeforce every second it is on the battlefield. The Hp removal can be reduced when the unit is levelled up.

Upon death, Phoenix becomes a Phoenix Egg. Phoenix Egg will reborn the Phoenix in 5 seconds at full hp unless it is destroyed by an enemy defence building or unit:
